no once u get rich u shud look down on other people because despite having the same circumstances as u they're loser wagies

>>55557152
I hope to be rich so I can shotgun Coors Banquet before I spin out in my 1991 BMW 318is without judgement.

I enjoy the finer things in life, craft beer, caviar, cigars, hats. But nothing will make Coors less refreshing, or Lil' Caesars less based.

>>55557180
Styx really let himself go after trump lost holy fuck

>>55557152
You should look down on fast food before you get rich, the fact that you don’t just proves you’ll always be classless no matter how much money you have.

>>55557180
Keep that positive in mind always fren.

>>55557198
>fast food is....LE BAD
I have been summoned

>>55557152
Videogames and Mcdonalds are for poor people.

>>55557198
Fuck your class. Politicians have a bunch of class but are the biggest snakes and demons on this planet.

>>55557210
That fat fuck trump thinks otherwise.

>>55557152
I am rich. Not Bill Gates rich but my net worth is over 30 million. I drive a 1992 Lexus LS400. I have an arcade in one of my spare bedrooms with a lot of video games from the 1980's and 1990s' (Space Invaders, Ms Pacman, Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat, etc

I don't eat fast food not out of being a snob but I love to cook my own food. I know I am eating good stuff that way. If you saw me walking around Costco you would never think I was rich. I like to buy my clothes at the Goodwill. I buy good brands but instead of paying $120 for a Polo shirt I find one at Salvation Army for $3.99 and I love paying that over the $120.

>>55557198
>YOUMSHOULD ONLY BE EARING AT 3STAR MICHILIM RESTUARWTNS OKAYY!1!1!1!1!1!

Comfiest times of my life were in McDonald’s parking lot with my bros eating McGoy slop. Tastes good back then. Still tastes good now. My order? Spicy McChicken, McDouble, 8piece nugs, Large fries, and a McFlurry.

t. 500k networth.

At some point food taste has diminishing returns, I've been to places where they serve the $1000 steak wrapped in gold bullshit and it tastes slightly worse than the $50 steak I can get from my local pub. Imagine consuming literal gold and then pooping it out into the sewers, absolute degeneracy

>>55557201
You as well friend

>>55557307
so you went to a restaurant for morons. good places don't do this

>>55557231
Based. I'm not as wealthy as you, but I have about 3M in assets. I also grew up around people far wealthier then me. I live a lifestyle similar to what you describe. Blowing money on status symbols will never make you happy, and it won't earn you the respect of other wealthy individuals. What brings happiness is finding your purpose in life, what makes you happy, challenges you to grow, and ideally allows you to make money. I run my own software business now and it's far more fulfilling then when I worked in a 'high status' corporate job.

>>55557307
Most expensive restaurants are a meme. Unironically some of the best food I've had recently was when I went on a trip to Asia and went to this place called Haidilao Hot Pot. It's some Chinese chain, and they have some on the west coast of the US, but it was unironically the best food I've had in a long time. It also introduced me to Sweet Potato Vermicelli noodles and how amazing they are

>>55557152
>I notice all the rich people around me suddenly start to look down on things like fast food or old cars.
Observer bias. You wouldn't know the rich people that aren't snobs about being rich.

>>55557189

This. It's a choice to be poor in America

Change old cars to shit cars, lots of old cars are quite valuable and collected by rich cunts.

>>55557152
One other thing fren. You are seeing the nouveau riche that love to throw around their money and flashy items and such. These are the "all eyes on me in the club" and want everyone to know how much better they are than you. I can't stand those kind of people.

There is a 1996 book "the millionaire next door" by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko.

The main aim of the book is to debunk the popular myths about wealth and millionaires. The authors aimed to expose the reality of how most millionaires spend, invest their money and how they got wealthy over time.

The book profiles several self-made millionaires in the United States and examines their lifestyles, habits, and attitudes towards money. It explores the principles of building and sustaining wealth from an accumulation of savings, living within your means, and investing wisely.

The authors uncovered that the majority of millionaires were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth; rather, they lived below their means and were disciplined in their spending, saving, and investing habits. They concluded that anyone can become a millionaire with the right mindset and habits, and that true wealth can be achieved by accumulating wealth over time with smart financial decisions.

So don't fall for the Kardashian trash and "all eyes on me in the club" living well beyond their means. Those poor fools will burn through their money and be broke. Instead live a disciplined lifestyle and you too can become a millionaire if you work at it.

>3m net worth
>runs own software business
>doesn’t know the distinction between “than” or “then”

Lol. In all seriousness though anon, good for you. I strive to be in your position some day. Money should be just a tool that helps you towards the goal of finding your ideal place in the world. Chasing luxury bullshit and image is a very poor mindset. Your advice is good

The best thread in a long, long time

>I notice all the rich people around me suddenly start to look down on things like fast food or old cars.
That's not rich people. That's upper-middle class people.
Rich people have more in common with poor people than either have with the middle class tiers.

if beautiful women weren't into it I don't think status purchases would be as prevalent with men

>>55560084
Maybe white men. Third worlders flash status symbols like designer clothes the split second they get any money.

>>55558336
Kinda true in a since the administerial wealthy middle class is so NPC /mind controlled by the regime

>>55560116
yeah because third world women love designer more than european women lmao . every black woman or middle eastern woman needs a chanel bag

>>55557539
it really is. I live in a third world country (UK) and I am far better off than a lot of the Americans I hear whining about how tough life is. If you are born in the USA and aren't retired by like 35, maybe 40. That's your choice, literally the consequences of your actions. Hopefully you were raised by parents who instilled things like foresight, planning, and delayed gratification into your character. Otherwise you are probably some fat broke american retard

>>55557152
Yeah but you have to start from the bottom

>>55558349
Checked.
Also, it's true. But for totally different reasons. Poor people buy cheap things because they are poor. Rich people buy cheap things because they preserve wealth and spend (invest) their money on increasing their wealth instead.

>>55560330
You are retarded if you think that basic consumer goods have any impact on their wealth. They are not anywhere near rich if eating out or buying expensive clothes can set them back in any way. You only have fantasies of rich people, you probably never knew any IRL. Rich people don't drive old shitboxes or look at grocery prices (at least I'm sure like 99% don't). You are probably some cuck who thinks he will become a millionaire by budgeting completely basic shit and working hard

>>55557208
that guy is obviously physically deteriorating

>>55560416
I know several rich people. I'm not American so that might be why you think like this. My culture was not subverted until recently by jews. The only thing these people spend money on is quality food items. You must be a fat dumb nigger american or another colonial freak or perhaps 3rd world gorilla.

>>55557189
The nation has really gone to shit since our elections were openly rigged

>>55560487
There is no difference between a cheap t shirt or one that costs 200$ other than the brand and the IQ of the person who buys the latter.
Only nigger people that make a little bit of money spend it to impress other nigger people. See people in this thread.

>>55560497
I don't know a single person from old money who wears cheap shitty plastic clothes, except one kid from California who is a wigger. They all dress nice, many go to the expensive gyms (the kind that price out niggers and Latinx) and never lift seriously they just stay lean. Some eat fast food some don't, but they are never obese even if some are fat. Many from such families go live in luxury apartments in NYC and other cities far away from their family, only rarely do their parents own the building or something like that. And they eat $40 organic breakfasts in such cities made by world class chefs, they never really budget for food or stuff like that typically it's just not a concern. I'm not the same anon but rich people do live better than middle classoids, it's inarguable.

>>55557152
If I was rich I would look out for old 70/80/90's typical economy cars for fun projects and maybe just simple restoration
Most of them got scrapped years ago and that's kinda sad
As for snobbery, you'll find it at every wealth bracket, and it's pathetic irrespective of financial status

>>55560533
You're talking about second and third generation wealth. Yes, people who are born into wealth tend to spend money like niggers if they weren't raised right. That's exactly why generational wealth runs dry after 3 generations on average. Self made wealthy people are much more frugal on average.

>>55557231
Yeah, I'd be pretty much the same in that situation
I can't think of any actual "luxury" items I'd want
Could count in single figures the expensive stuff I'd consider getting, none of which would represent some kind of showy statement, some shit just costs more than $50 to buy, that's all there is to it

>>55560533
There is no old money in the US wtf hahah. Your country is 200 years younger than the mansion I'm living in right now. See, this is the problem. An European trying to talk with an American.

Being wasteful with your money is frowned upon here. It shows you lack class and can't take care of yourself. Why would I pay 40$ for a breakfast that should cost 10$ if I quickly make it myself and enjoy it in my garden? I only visit metropolitan areas if there is a need, it's not a place one is supposed to live in. That's for poor people. Yes, having an apartment there is fine, but it's not for living. You don't rent it, you own it. Money is not spend on consumption, it's for investment/retaining value or quality of life improvements at most. An old care can be as comfortable as a new one. Why spend money on something unnecessary? That's low class.

>>55557152
yes

>>55557152
Yes, I just need a countryside estate and an apartment in the city when I want to change things up. Just wear a non flashy linen shirt with khaki shorts and non wigger shoes.

>>55557180

I too enjoy the finer things in life, but sometimes you just want a fuckin Big Mac.

Fast food is disgusting and is looked down by everyone.
Old cars are good. Car payments are for poor people.

If you work hard in daily life with something then I respect you. If you're just being lazy then I don't respect you. Either way I don't think you care. Also, I think it tells me you're of Germanic stock.

On this note, when I worked as a diplomat I learned about trust fund kids. Although of course families support their children in Europe too (or not), it isn't something one says out loud. It's shameful to be living off of someone else's money. However Americans had no problem at all admitting they were doing this, whilst playing around with starting NGOs, doomed companies or other useless activities in said countries. We laugh a lot at the Americans and they stay amongst themselves.

>>55561261
The Europeans had a great past. That time is over, and they will never recover to their former glory. Nobody cares but you.

>>55561261
As the head of the World Economic Forum I agree with you. I've also noticed that Americans seem to think they are too good for eating bugs. Little do they know I'm working with all the large brands to trick them into eating bugs without knowing it. Silly Americans. We laugh at them a lot.

>>55557152
Being rich MADE ME stop being such a snob. I used to be incredibly spoiled, but once I realized how fucking dumb "wealthy" people typically are I went in reverse.

>>55561293
As far as I can tell your plan is proceeding smoothly. On europeans as well.
>>55561291
True. But Americans are class and tactless. You are the Great Satan.

>>55561261
Didn't give a thought about it but yeah you're right, probably because all americans are cryptojews without morale
>t. HNW bankerboi

you can have wealth without being a snob, of course.
the question is, can you have good taste without being a snob? (no)

A question on American wealth. I know you as a country basically have all climates, but it's common for rich families in Europe to have estates in many different countries. this doesn't seem to be the case with Americans, which I guess is because of proximity to the same climate difference we want in Europe you have within your own borders. additionally you don't really have any good countries close to you to set up nice places in, Mexico is shit and the further south you go the further shit it becomes. Canada also seems to suck dick. So I guess I answered my own question. But it's part of what makes americans so soulless. You just stay within your own Mcborders and nothing has soul or history. God your country really is shit. I've never been to the US because I refuse to go, but just thinking about being with the soulless cattle that is americans gives me... I lack the words to describe it. God I hate americans.

I went to a fancy private college so know a decent amount of wealthy people. Plenty aren’t really ‘snobs’ but they are out of touch with how regular people live.

Eg the Russian oligarch’s daughter still wants McDonald’s when she’s sloshed at 3am. But she’ll tell you to just ask your dad for money if you say you can’t afford a month long trip to Greece. I even know a few older people who made their own wealth but after a few years even they just sort of forget that regular people have bills and obligations. “You should just take a year off work to do x!” Kind of thing.

The snobbiest people I’ve met are solidly upper middle class, for sure. Probably an insecurity thing.

>>55560126
Neither of them obey the law.

All for different reasons but the result is the same. A rich person can walk into a poor bar and get along fine with the poor because the poor will not try to compete with them.
Poors cannot go into rich bars except as wagies where they will get along fine with the rich because they rely on the wage.
Middle class cannot go into either a rich bar or poor bar or get along with either. They will try to show up the rich and poor alike.

During the COVID crap, I accepted the fact that we have to leave the physical stuff behind after we pass away. Regardless of what happens after our bodies give out. Our property's not coming with us if the religious are right about us having souls and there being an afterlife of some kind.

That said, it depends on your family situation. If you're the last man standing in your bloodline and you can't find a decent woman to marry or at least make babies with, no. I wouldn't look down on you for being a Big Mac-munching millionaire who plays vidya all day. Because you wouldn't have heirs to pass anything down to in that situation. Why own a mansion and 18 cars if you don't become a husband and a father?

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum as an uncle of two. When I die, I want the aftermath to be as simple as possible for my nephews. I don't want them to be overwhelmed with debt or paperwork. If anything, I want them to be overwhelmed with joy when they see my house, car, and bullion stack.

TL;DR - Spend your money however you want, but keep your family in mind when buying anything that can go up in value after you die

>>55563222
>“You should just take a year off work to do x!” Kind of thing.
you unironically should, though.

unless you are with a woman you might reasonably have a chance of marrying you should do this. maybe not a full year, but definitely in that 3-6 month range. do it regularly.
>but I cant afford it!
yes you can. you just don't have the motivation to go without and save your money. the best way to get that motivation is to just buy the plane ticket. buy for it for 8 months from now (when your lease runs out is the best time) you will notice that every decision to eat out or take an uber or buy a video game or whatever waste of money is met by

Fast food is shit because it is processed food, which is all shit without exception.
Old cars is quite the umbrella term, the best cars are old enough to not have electronics to avoid planned obsolescence, and have lots of parts on the markets to reduce repair price.

Playing video games is extremely cheap, since you only need to pay for the hardware and can pirate the software.
By mcdo you either refers to hamburgers, nuggets or fries, who are all extremely cheap, quick and easy to homecook.
Your dream life can be achieved for under 500-2K per year ( depending on location ).

You cannot achieve your dream life since you crave social contacts, and so feels compelled to "keep up with the Jones", which is where most of the cost of living for goylems comes from.

It's true though. Even in the way that wealth is transferred to the poor and rich from the middle class.

To add, I heard that the first generation wealth, the first time a bloodline has a whiff of any decent chunk of money is where the neuroses live. Granted they hold onto that wealth and make it grow, their children that are born into it have no such hangups. The fancy shit they have then is a personal choice, not a necessity controlled by an ego that remembers what it's like to be middle class.

In short, it's hard being new wealth if you care about any higher principles. Personally I am falling into the flaunt trap myself because all my life nobody ever took me seriously so I have to prove that I am actually a real person who can accomplish things and not a clown. This is even with knowing that becoming rich is one of the least impressive things one can do in the world. I'm still a clown in my own eyes but since other people are still dazzled by money I can at least trick them into respecting me.
